Attorney General James "Buddy" Caldwell said Pryor was wanted by the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office in Texas for sexually assaulting a child. He was found at a business in Alexandria and taken to the Rapides Parish Jail.

Pryor had been living at a home on McKeithen Street in Alexandria. Additional details about his case were not released.

The Fugitive Apprehension Unit was created in 2008 to assist local, state and federal law enforcement with locating and arresting fugitives from justice.

Caldwell said the FAU has captured 1,242 fugitives and cleared 2,886 warrants.
